Am I a knobhead ?

I am 50 years of old and am like a kid on 23 December. Just two days and it all starts.
On this, my own Christmas Day, I will go shopping in the morning and we will then have some lunch. I will then potter aimlessly around and finally take control of our computer at 2:00pm and log onto the ToffeeWeb Live Forum. This will probably be my third visit of the day to the website.
For the next hour, I will watch and contribute to the ebb and flow of opinion ? some will want to kill BK, some will adopt the pose of football managers, some will anticipate Barkley?s skill... and others, like me (and most fans I think) will already have dreamed of a thumping win against QPR with a hat -trick by Hibbo!
Already I have seen and played out in my mind one or two of our first-half goals:
Kick off. A smooth passing move for the first and a blinding volley for the second. Barkley I think.
My online mate's found a new link just in time
Goodison will rock and, as the second half begins, we will be purring with delight and have two fingers in the air.
Even my Kopite missus will be pleased.
I will lick my lips as we start the second half. Fellaini will score an early header and the crowd will clap as QPR hit a long screamer.
Then Saha will score two ? one with a 25-yard grass cutter and we will win 6-1.
I will then have a nap and wake up and happily agree with my beau that the new X-Factor is ace.
I won?t care... We won and Arsenal will beat the Shite.
So fuck the money, fuck the financial/sport reporters, fuck the pre-season gobshites..
This is what it is all about and if we draw or lose, I will have had days of anticipation and excitement... as I have had since I was first taken to Goodison Park, aged 4.

I can't wait to get back in my seat and have a reason to get out again (for a pint not from the asylum).
I reckon were set for a crazy season right across the premier league.
I reckon we should have a Toffeeweb sweep what round will we get knocked out the Carling Cup and what month will this year stop being the R/S year to win the league?
I'll go Round 3 and September.

Just a good evertonian who knows the important thing is what happens on the park.

Im lookin forward to the ball being kicked, but i have this nagging dark place which tells me that football is fucked. A moneyed elite with everyone else there to make up the fixture list, us included. I long for the days when we can start a season with at least the vague possibility that we will be top of the pile.

Ged.
You could have a bonus watching the RS get beat prior to us kicking off. But yep, it's good to be back.
People going to the game will no doubt be heard, especially in the main stand, if the game goes against us - but I've a feeling QPR are going to need a large slice of luck picking up any points at Goodison.

Believe it or not I'll be turning the phone off ignoring the boys calls "come down to SOHO mate, going off! (SOHO=night club btw)", switching on Foxsports Extra (no HD for me because it is not the fucking 'match of the round' bullshit) and making sure I have my snacks ready to cheer on the BLUES =].
I'm massively pumped for the first game... WHOS GOT FIRST HIT BOYS!?!?!?!
.sorry that's my Rugby League background coming out lol
